A genetically modified organism, or GMO, is an organism that has had its DNA altered or modified in some way through genetic engineering. According to the National Library of Medicine (NLM), genetically engineered foods have had foreign genes (genes from other plants or animals) inserted into their genetic codes. The potential benefits are foods that are tastier, more nutritious and resistant to diseases and droughts. By far the biggest use of GMO technology has been in large-scale agricultural crops. If there is a meaningful difference in the safety, composition or nutrition of the crop from which the ingredients were derived, the FDA could require additional information be added to the label.
This webinar with expert Norma Skolnik will provide an overview of the status of GMO’s in the USA and FDA’s position on GMO’s and GMO labeling.

It would be nice to be able to address both FDA and USDA in terms of what will be expected in the labeling come July 2018 with some examples.
